petsmart vs me

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They don't know sh*t, they are their to make money and that's it. They tried selling me plans with snail eggs on them, I told them I didn't want snails in my tank and they told me their snails don't reproduce.
 
Yeahi agree its good to see them try and discourage bad behaivor, but again generally people from forums know more then the hired help
 
Ditto, same issue with a local Petsmart but you have to commend them for trying to weed out the inexperienced and then them trying to sell one dollar fish cheaply........... It's business.
 
While I understand that most of us know more than the people who work there, there are exceptions. How xo I know?

I work at a pet store.

It is incredibly disrespectful when a customer refuses to give any info about their setup, then gets annoyed at me for asking. I'm trying to do my job and protect "my" fish. I order the fish, I care for the fish, therefore it's my responsibility to make sure they stay healthy after they leave the store.

So yes, while you may know more than them (or think you do), at least be respectful and mind your words. Some employees are smarter than you think and take their jobs personally.

When did selling fish turn into adoption though?
 
I've never herd of them giving static for selling pacu, bala sharks, or Oscars. Those are the fish that should be warned about. Its seems a stupid battle to get into over neon tetras.

I like the idea of asking how many fish they put in their tanks at a time.

Anytime I have got any they never asked me my tank size. Except for one time. I got 30 tetras of mixed deals and I told them they were for my 40gal. They just said oh cool.
